Your LinkedIn funding announcement, in your own words

Start with the people: the customer, the angel or the moment that made the round real. Then say what you raised, who led it, what the money is for and who you are hiring. innernote writes the announcement in your voice from what you tell it, and posts your links under it as the first comment.

Look for partners at funds that back your stage and market, and for a mutual connection who can introduce you. Investors also look you up before a first call, so your recent posts are part of the pitch. innernote keeps those posts going through the weeks you spend in meetings.

The money comes through meetings and introductions, and LinkedIn is one place they start. Steady posts about your customers and your progress give an investor a reason to take the meeting. innernote writes those posts in your voice and puts them on your posting days.

Post what you are learning from customers, the numbers you are happy to share and the decisions you made. Investors who see it have a reason to reply when you write to them. innernote turns a voice note about your week into those posts.

Search for people who describe themselves as angel investors in your market, and look at which founders they have backed. An introduction from one of those founders carries more weight than a cold message. innernote keeps your own posts going, so there is something to read when they look you up.

An early round of outside money, usually from angel investors and early-stage funds, raised to grow from a first product to steady customers. Founders often announce it the day it closes. innernote writes that announcement in your voice, and the posts for the weeks after.

Name them and say what their yes meant at the time it came, in a line or two. Do it in the announcement, or in a post of its own a few days later. In innernote, tag their firm with Tag a company, and write the people's names in your own words.

Say what happened, who helped and what it means for the people you serve, in plain words. Credit people by name and skip the false modesty. innernote writes the post in your voice from a voice note or a line, and you read it before it goes out.
